CWNA-109 practice questions, page 3 of 5, with answer review and explanations.
Question 11
When using a spectrum analyzer to look for non-Wi-Fi interference sources, you notice significant interference across the entire 2.4 GHz band (not on a few select frequencies) within the desktop area of a user's workspace, but the interference disappears quickly after just 2 meters. What is the most likely cause of this interference?
USB 3 devices in the user's work area
Excess RF energy from a nearby AP
Unintentional radiation from the PC power supply
Bluetooth devices in the user's work area
Question 12
You recently purchased four laptops containing dual-band 802.11ac adapters. The laptops can connect to your 2.4 GHz network, but they cannot connect to the 5 GHz network. The laptops do not show the 5 GHz SSIDs, which are different than the 2.4 GHz SSIDs. Existing devices can connect to the 5 GHz SSIDs with no difficulty. What is the likely problem?
Faulty drivers
Interference from other WLANs
DoS attack
Interference from non-Wi-Fi sources
Question 13
Return Loss is the decrease of forward energy in a system when some of the power is being reflected back toward the transmitter. What will cause high return loss in an RF transmission system, including the radio, cables, connectors and antenna?
The use of 50 ohm cables longer than one meter in the RF system
A significant impedance mismatch between components in the RF system
High output power at the transmitter and use of a low-gain antenna
A Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) of 1:1
Question 14
The IEEE 802.11 standard requires VHT capable devices to be backward compatible with devices using which other 802.11 physical layer specification (PHY)?
ERP-PBCC
DSSS
OFDM
HR/DSSS
Question 15
In which plane of the three commonly defined networking planes is an access point configured by a WLAN controller?
